Or use Jason Orendorff's path module. For a single glob it is very easy:

import path
for f in path.path('.\InteropSolution').walkfiles('*.dll'):
   print f

For multiple globs you have to work a little harder:
for f in path.path('.\InteropSolution').walkfiles():
   if f.fnmatch('*.dll') or f.fnmatch('*.exe'):
     print f

or maybe
for f in path.path('.\InteropSolution').walkfiles():
   if f.ext in ['.dll', '.exe']:
     print f
